What they do is take the total GPA of all classes and average it out to obtain your overall GPA. My final GPA was sitting at 3.4 without one class added in which would most likely bring it up at least a point to a 3.5 so in your marking system I would also be at 7. As I mentioned I like your grading system much better! :-) The 4.0 is very hard to get here, you have to have ALL of your marks sitting at 95 or better.

Thanks for the information Beverly, I love learning how the education system works in different places, it helps me put my grades into a different perspective.

About Me

I am wife, mother and author. My marriage of 24 years is my strength and my rock. My incredible children inspire me and keep me busy - even as adults.
The other person that I am is a 'Published Author' - 2012 saw me publish my first novel "The Creators" and in 2013 I succeeded in publishing my second novel "The Destructors". 2014 will see me finish Book three in my Chronicles of the Guild Series and hopefully publish it after mid-year.
I love writing stories, poetry, inspirational quotes and blog posts. Reading is as important to me as eating, and I love photography & scrapbooking.
